Sweet swing Stipe. That’s what the Cleveland Indians were calling UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic on Tuesday.
Miocic was invited to take batting practice with the Indians before tonight’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, and the champ was able to knock one out of the park.

The Indians are hosting Miocic to celebrate the Cleveland native winning the heavyweight championship at UFC 198 on Saturday. Miocic knocked out Fabricio Werdum in the first round of their main event fight in Curitiba, Brazil.
So if that UFC thing doesn’t work out, Miocic might consider being the Indians’ designated hitter for a change.
